Footnote [27]:
"This is one of those great turning points in business history:
telecom companies fear being left behind at a time when data and Internet
traffic has begun to surpass the volume of voice calls. Data traffic is
expanding at a rate no one predicated just a few years ago. How fast?
E-mail, video and other data could account for 99% of all telecommunications
traffic by 2004." TIME, October 27, 1997
